Size column shows exactly what?

unboggling · 11-21-2013, 12:40 PM

Does the Size column show the file size of the largest-size-format in the book folder? (That's been my assumption...)

Supposed to

, for the original entry, at least before tampering (I think they call it editing

)
The Quality Check PI has a (tampering

) fix to recompute the size

@theducks, thanks.

Searched for but couldn't find any documentation on this in calibre manual or forums. Forgot about the Quality Check plugin command fix->check and repair book sizes.

Per empirical testing, the Size column does show the size of the largest-size format in the book folder. After adding or removing formats calibre seems to automatically recompute the size value after a few seconds, without needing to resort to the Quality Check plugin command to fix sizes.

The PI is needed for those of us that also use the Open With PI (or do careful, permissible file surgery) that calibre is officially unaware of happening.

Ah. Thanks for the correction/elaboration re cases for needing to fix size.
